1 Do retail traders suffer from high frequency traders? Katya Malinova, Andreas Park, Ryan Riordan CAFIN Workshop, Santa Cruz April 25, 2014
2 The U.S. stock market was now a class system, rooted in speed, of haves and have-nots. The haves paid for nanoseconds; the have-nots had no idea that nanoseconds had value. The haves enjoyed a perfect view of the market; the have-nots never saw the market at all. - Michael Lewis, Flash Boys.

11 What is high frequency trading? Several attempts by the SEC, the CFTC and BaFin to define HFT: Proprietary trading firms (according to the SEC and BaFin). Use of algorithms for any decision making. Use of low-latency technology. This paper: Sending a high amount of messaging.
12 HFT is contentious Uneven playing field? Systematic rent extraction? Incentives to collect/generate information? Price efficiency? Market stability?
13 What do we know about HFT/AT? 1. HFTs facilitate price efficiency Brogaard, Hendershott, and Riordan (2013) 2. HFTs make money Baron, Brogaard, Kirilenko (2012), Menkveld (2013) 3. Possible negative externalities Ye, Yao, Gai (2013); Egginton, Van Ness, and Van Ness (2013) 4. HFTs are a heterogenous group Hagströmer and Nordén (2013) 5. HFT/Quoting Activities/AT & liquidity (+) Hendershott, Jones, and Menkveld (2011) for AT; Hasbrouck and Saar (2013), Brogaard, Hagströmer, Nordén, and Riordan (2013) (-) Chakrabarty, Jain, Shkilko, Sokolov (2013) This paper: The impact of message-intensive AT on intraday costs & returns: market-wide vs. retail and institutional investors.
14 A long run view Message = trade, order, cancellation, or modification HFT Messages and Bid Ask Spread log HFT messages basis points Log HFT Messages Bid Ask Spread
15 Research question: What is the impact of message-intensive trading? Message = trade, order, modification, or cancellation Casual observation: Suggests that as messaging activity (presumably by HFT) increases, market conditions improve. Problem 1: Causality? Do spreads go down because of HFT? Or vice versa? Difficult to disentangle technological progress, trading venue competition, new order types, lower trading costs. Problem 2: Who benefits and how? Can unsophisticated traders catch the low spread when quotes change at speeds beyond human reaction time? Is there a disadvantage to using limit orders? These now earn lower spreads and are more expensive to monitor. Do investors benefit from the reduced bid-ask spreads?

17 The IIROC message fee Addressing problem 1: event causality The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) is a self-regulatory body for investment-dealers and trading activity in Canada. IIROC is funded by its members. IIROC charges dealers customers (some) April 01, 2012, IIROC switched their billing from volume-based to trade-based and message-based. Per message fee is relative to a trader s/dealer s share of messages across all marketplaces. fee is endogenous market participants did not know the amount ex-ante (ex-post message fee is $ ; typical HFT msg is for 100 shares). Per message fee is difficult to estimate (many marketplaces; so-called registered traders were exempt). Change scared those with high message traffic.
18 Granular Data Addressing problem 2: Who benefits and how? Study traders with different levels of sophistication retail institutions Compute standard market quality measures; compare market-wide vs. per trader group. Study: costs and benefits to market vs. limit orders per group intraday returns to all the group s orders.
19 Data Very detailed data for the TSX for February to April 2012: all messages (orders, cancellations, trades, etc) trader-level unique identifiers for each order most detailed data available to exchanges and regulators. Focus on S&P/TSX Composite index constituents (our sample: 248 firms). Event study using March and April data. First: classify traders: message-intensive algo traders, retail, institutional.
20 Classification message-intensive algo traders: iat 1. For this classification: use 248 stocks plus 42 active ETFs 2. Compute the monthly (February 2012, pre-sample) sum of total messages (= trades, orders, cancellations, modifications, etc.) total trades 3. Compute the message-to-trade ratio. 4. Compute percentiles message-to-trade and total messages. 5. Classify as iat if 95th percentile message-to-trade and 95th percentile total number of messages
21 Classification Retail Info from proprietary dataset that allows identification of a large number of retail traders. Specifically: traders that send market orders to Alpha IntraSpread. Important: Canada does not allow off-exchange internalization all retail orders hit public markets. Institutional Idea: find traders that build large positions. Compute the cumulative inventory per stock If abs value of the inventory ever exceeds $25 million and not iat or retail institutional
22 Summary Statistics Market iat Retail Instit s Units unique identifiers 3, share of $-volume % share of messages % msgs per minute per ID
23 Market Quality Measures TSX operates as a limit order book limit orders: set quotes, give others an option to trade market orders: trade against posted limit orders Bid-ask spread measures: 1. quoted spread: all posted/visible quotes 2. effective half-spread: uses prices that were actually paid 3. price impact: signed price movement after the trade (5 min). adverse selection costs for the limit order 4. realized half-spread effective half-spread minus price impact compensation for liquidity provision
24 Summary Statistics Market iat Retail Instit s Units % vol traded with LO % % limit order vol filled %
25 Summary Statistics Market iat Retail Instit s Units % vol traded with LO % % limit order vol filled % effective half-spread bps realized half-spread bps
26 Regression Methodology Two approaches 1. (Presentation focus): event study: dependent variable it = α 1 event t + α 2 VIX t + δ i + ǫ it 2. Instrumental Variable estimation: iat activity it = β 1 event t + β 2 VIX t + δ i + ǫ it dependent variable it = β 3iAT activityit + β 4 VIX t + δ i + ǫ it iat activity measured by %iat of all messages and ln(iat messages). For both cases: δ i are firm fixed effects and VIX t controls for market-wide fluctuations.
27 Questions 1. What happens to iats and market quality after the fee is introduced? 2. How do the changes affect the trading costs for retail and institutional traders (vs. market average) and their order submission behaviour? 3. How did the change affect traders intraday returns?
28 Q.1: What happens to iat and market-wide measures? Assumption: message-intensive = market making. Baruch and Glosten (2013) support this theoretically. See also: Getco letter to IIROC. Need to frequently re-quote in response to new info. Predictions: 1. Market makers reduce (re-)quoting activities higher risk of being adversely selected require higher compensation (Copeland and Galai (1983), Foucault (1999)) 2. price impact of market orders ր and bid-ask spread ր (e.g., Bernales (2013) or Getco s comment to IIROC).
29 Q.1: The Impact of the Fee Change All measures are in basis points Time weighted quoted spread vs. %iat basis points percent pre sample iat classification period Mar 1 Apr 1 May 1 quoted spread, av. before/after quoted spread % iat messages, av before/after %iat messages
30 Q.1: Effect of iat on market quality time weighted quoted spread effective spread 5-minute price impact 5-minute realized spread event 0.49*** 0.35*** 0.82*** -0.44*** (0.14) (0.13) (0.19) (0.13) iat messages ց by 31%. Quoted, effective spreads, and price impact ր Realized spread (compensation for liquidity provision) ց.
31 Q.2: What happens to trading costs of retail and institutions? Market order trading costs: Prediction 1: higher market-wide spread higher per-group spread.
32 Q.2: What happens to trading costs of retail and institutions? Market order trading costs: Prediction 1: higher market-wide spread higher per-group spread. Adverse selection for limit orders: Based on Hoffman (2013) model of slow and fast traders. only fast traders are able to re-quote if new info arrives. slow traders are always adversely selected if new info arrives. Prediction 2: slow traders adverse selection costs not affected by changes in iat quoting.
33 Q.2: What happens to trading costs of retail and institutions? Market order trading costs: Prediction 1: higher market-wide spread higher per-group spread. Adverse selection for limit orders: Based on Hoffman (2013) model of slow and fast traders. only fast traders are able to re-quote if new info arrives. slow traders are always adversely selected if new info arrives. Prediction 2: slow traders adverse selection costs not affected by changes in iat quoting. Trading costs/returns for limit orders: No directional prediction. Idea: indifferent between a market and a limit order. relationship between profits to market orders, profits to limit orders, and the fill rate for limit orders.
34 Effective Spread Transaction price relative to the midpoint of the bid-ask spread Effective spreads paid for MO received on LO Retail (0.14) (0.15) Institutions 0.49*** 0.41*** (0.14) (0.14)
35 Adverse Selection: Price Impact A (signed) change in the midpoint 5 minutes past the trade Price Impact caused by MO suffered on LO Retail ** (0.24) (0.42) Institutions 0.99*** 1.14*** (0.24) (0.29)
36 Q.2: What happens to trading costs of retail and institutions? Retail: no change in the spread paid for MO or the price impact of MO no change for MO face higher adverse selection on LO but no change in the spread received lose on LO. Institutions: higher price impact of MO after the change, yet underpay for this increase benefit on MO face higher adverse selection when using LO, yet undercompensated for it lose on LO
37 Realized Spread Transaction price relative to the midpoint 5 minute past the trade Realized spread paid for MO received on LO Retail * (0.25) (0.41) Institutions -0.48*** -0.71*** (0.18) (0.23)
38 Q2: Effect on retail and institutional traders behavior Changes in the usage of limit vs. market orders? % volume traded with LOs % volume submitted as LOs % orders submitted as LOs Retail event * (0.62) (0.54) (0.50) Institutional event -1.80** ** (0.71) (0.61) (0.63)
39 Step 3: Effect of iat on intraday returns? Instead of a 5-minute benchmark, use the closing price Intraday return: profits from buying and selling. On day t, for each group, compute: profit t = sell $volume t buy $ volume t +(buy volume t sell volume t ) closing price t scale by: buy $ volume t +sell $ volume t gain/loss relative to the end-of-the-day price captures intraday price movements subsequent to trade Compute returns to: market orders limit orders all orders
40 Step 3: Effect of iat on trading costs & returns? Intraday Returns by Groups of Traders Intraday return mean (March) all market limit all market limit orders orders orders orders orders orders Retail traders -3.93** * (1.64) (1.49) (3.33) Institutional traders *** (1.11) (1.97) (1.79) Extensions
41 Summary IIROC fee change led to a significant reduction in message-intensive activities. Reduction caused an increase in market-wide bid-ask spread. Yet: retail traders costs for market orders are unaffected, but they lose more on limit orders. in our data, iat activities are beneficial for retail. Institutions pay larger spreads, but the increase is smaller than the increase in their price impact. institutions earn higher intraday returns on market orders. Easier to capitalize on information?
42 Extensions This paper: when high-message algos are present, their activities benefit retail traders (= reduce retail losses). Related: where do retail traders lose on the intra-day level?
43 Market Order Profits and Costs for Retail Traders Cumulative Intraday Returns for MARKET Orders cumulative returns spreads paid
